read csv-data and put it in an array

[Perlchamp]

sorry for nerving, sam. i would like to understand the code. where is the part in which the name and age of people with the same birthday are collected/combined ?

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp I’ll use you last code post

// loop thru all the brithdays found in the file that match this month, one at a time
for(var birthday of Object.keys(this.active_birthdays)) {

                    // each row is a person
		    for(var person of this.active_birthdays[birthday]) {
		    				
			// create looped row section
                        // create a row
			var bodyTR = this.createEl('tr', "birthday-tr-body", "TR-BODY", tBody, null);

                        // get timne/date of now
			let now = moment();
                        // we need to change the style to dimmed,. if the BD is in the past

			//let entrie = moment(birthday,"DD.MM");                      // < --- problem
                        // assume the birthday is NOT in the past
			let entrie = now                                    
                        // if the user requested dimming
			if(this.config.dimmEntries) {		
                            // get the brithdate in this year 01.05.2020
                            // note the value WAS the SAME as 'now'
			    entrie = moment(birthday,'DD.MM');
			}
                        // set the default value for the birthdate display			
			var bd = "";  // assume we don't need to display it
   			// if we have not seen this birthdate in the loop so far, its the fiist time
			if(birthdays_seen[birthday] == undefined) {
                            // so we need the number of the day of the month
                           // if it starts with 0, get from char 1 on sop 01.05 becomes 1.05, then 
                           // use split to get the parts [ 1, 05]
                           // if not '0', use all bd numbers 12.05, and split to [12,05]
                           // and take the 1st element of array 
                           // 1, or 12, for the two examples
			    bd = (birthday.startsWith("0")? birthday.substring(1): birthday).split('.')[0];

                            // now we need a row of data for the the person
                            // class name is either TD-IMAGE or TD-IMAGE_DIMMED
                            // use the two moments to compare (the fix for the entrie= now above will fix this) 
                            // if the persons ds is before now, and we want dimmed, then add the tail of the class name on
                            // else use this the name (concat('') - add nothing))
                            // this  entrie.isBefore(now)?'_DIMMED':'' means

                            // so the class will be TD-IMAGE (for people with bithrdays ON or AFTER today)
                            // or TD-IMAGE_DIMMED for people with birthdays BEFORE today

@Perlchamp my code had

					let now = moment()		
					let entrie=now
				    if(this.config.dimmEntries) {				
						entrie = moment(birthday,'DD.MM')
					}
					var bd = "";	

[Perlchamp]

thanks a lot. i will study this …

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp make that one fix and then my code will work too

[Perlchamp]

update !
i tried, but how should i do this ?
i was in the dev. didn’t helped me. it’s , how said, the part

.concat(entrie.isBefore(now)?"_DIMMED":''

with => blackScreen
without => working (formatted => css).

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp have to edit the source code, then reload the browser page, cannot edit in debugger

let now = moment()		
					let entrie=now   // <-- this line was not included in yours..   i commented 
				    if(this.config.dimmEntries) {

@Perlchamp you need to learn the debugger, code fixed

	getDom: function(){
		var wrapper = this.createEl("div",null,null,null);

			// create your table  here
			var table = this.createEl("table", "birthday-table", null, wrapper );

			// table header here, array of column names
			var table_header=this.createTableHeader(table,null, ["date","Name","age"])		

			// create looped row section
			var tBody = this.createEl('tbody', "birthday-t-body", "tbody", table, null);		

			var birthdays_seen= {}
			for(var birthday of Object.keys(this.active_birthdays)) {
			    for(var person of this.active_birthdays[birthday]) {			    				

					// create looped row section
					var bodyTR = this.createEl('tr', null, "TR-BODY" ,tBody, null);	

					let now = moment()		
					let entrie=now
				    if(this.config.dimmEntries) {				
						entrie = moment(birthday,'DD.MM')
					}
					var bd = "";					
			    	if(birthdays_seen[birthday]==undefined){
						bd =(birthday.startsWith("0")? birthday.substring(1): birthday).split('.')[0];
						var imageTD = this.createEl('td', null, "TD-IMAGE".concat(entrie.isBefore(now)?"_DIMMED":'') , bodyTR, bd);		
						var nameTD = this.createEl('td', null, "TD-BODY".concat(entrie.isBefore(now)?"_DIMMED":'') , bodyTR, person.name);
									 this.createEl("span", null, null, nameTD, " ");						// needs class for width
						var spanTDo = this.createEl("span", null, "TD-AGE".concat(entrie.isBefore(now)?"_DIMMED":''), nameTD, person.age);

					else{

	},

see the last line of the console

black screen means syntax error in some modulename.js, click on the line number and it will take you to that line in the code … note the concat(… is missing its right paren ‘)’

[Perlchamp]

thank you very much. yes i need more expirience of debugging. it’s my second day i use it, sorry sam. AND MANY THANKS.

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp Make an error, take out a comma, or ’

reload the page, f5

put part of ht module name in the filter field of the console

find the error message
click the filename/line to the right

[Perlchamp]

ok, will collect some experience …

[Perlchamp]

ok, the blacksreen is gone, works, but no css

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp that comes up for me
Copied directly. Will send my module file.

[Perlchamp]

ok, thanks

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp see the expanded html on left

file sent

[Perlchamp]

it WORKS ! now i hope to find the error :-)

[sdetweil]

@Perlchamp i did not use the classes , no… didn’t care about the layout etc…
I want to make sure the NAMES of the classes are right…

sending file again, sorting the dates

[Perlchamp]

work’s, too :-) , sam

[dorinilut]

@Perlchamp , would it be possible to share the module you came up with? I am looking for the exact same thing and I was thinking I would be getting a copy.

many many thanks!
